Brain and Nerve Surgery (Neurosurgery)

Neurosurgery, in other words, the treatment of brain and nerve diseases, tumors originating from or pressing on the brain and spinal cord tissue, as well as head and spinal cord injuries, especially lumbar and cervical hernia, brain vascular occlusions and brain hemorrhages, injuries in the vessels feeding the brain and spinal cord. It is the branch of science that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as aneurysms, i.e. bubbles. It is the department that intervenes with surgical methods in diseases that affect many vital functions, such as narrowing of the neck vessels and diseases that develop during the formation of the nervous system in newborns, epilepsy that does not respond to drug treatment, and selected Parkinson’s cases. The dictionary meaning of neurosurgery, derived from the words neuron and surgery, is “healing the wounds of the nervous system”. In the brain and nerve diseases clinic, diseases seen in both adult and pediatric patient groups are diagnosed and treated. Physicians who work in the branch of science where many high-tech devices are used during surgical and microsurgical procedures receive five or six years of specialization training after 6 years of medical school education. Doctors who specialize in the field of neurosurgery, where the necessary diagnosis and treatment methods are applied by working together with neurology, neuroradiology and neuroanesthesia departments, are called neurosurgeons or neurosurgeons.
